In the face of the current global pandemic, every business has been forced to re-evaluate and develop new ways for customers/staff to access their product/system.

During these unprecedented times, COVID-19 has completely changed our daily lives. The way that consumers are shopping to get those essential food items such as milk, bread and cleaning items has changed due to lockdown and social distancing measures being put into place. Many more are turning to online deliveries to get what they need but encounter long waits for deliveries, face long queues outside the supermarket and some empty shelves due to panic buying and stockpiling.

Last month the whole of the UK was turned on their heads when the country was essentially shut down due to Covid-19. In the construction industry building sites up and down the country turned into ghost towns, with half-finished projects and building materials manufacturers and distributors not knowing when they would be back to ‘normal’. According to IHS Markit, 75% of manufacturers they surveyed in the last month reported a drop in activity due to Covid-19. Not surprising, to say the least.
